Identification test for glucose

You and your lab partner, Monica are first-year biology students interning at a medical diagnostics laboratory. You are very excited about this opportunity to learn more about their work since you are considering this as a career opportunity.

The manager, Dr. Brown, welcomes you and Monica; and explains your tasks for your first day.

Dr. Brown: Well then, let’s start with some tests you are familiar with. I understand that you have learnt about biomolecules and the different identification tests. Is that right?

You: That’s right, Dr. Brown. We have learnt about the identification tests for carbohydrates, proteins and lipids.

Monica: Don’t forget about DNA, we also learnt about the identification tests for DNA.

Dr. Brown: That’s an excellent place to start then. (Handing you a test tube): Here is a urine sample from a patient suspected of having diabetes. Please determine if it contains glucose. This test is crucial in supporting a diagnosis and ensuring patient health.
